Verso: Riff 
I wake up, my shoulders cold 
I've got to leave here, before I go 
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door 
Drag my feet along the floor 
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door 
Drag my feet along the floor 

         G         D                   Am       C 
Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus 
G                  D       Am    C 
Cruel professor studying romances 

  G                       D  C 
How am I supposed to pretend 
   G                      D  C 
I never want to see you again 
    G                      D C 
How am I supposed to pretend 
    G                       D C 
I never want to see you again 

Verso: Riff 
Walked to class, in front of ya 
Spilled kefir on your keffiyeh 
You look inside and turn to the door 
Drag your feet along the floor 

         G         D                   Am       C 
Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus 
G                  D       Am    C 
Cruel professor studying romances 

  G                       D  C 
How am I supposed to pretend 
   G                      D  C 
I never want to see you again 
    G                      D  C 
How am I supposed to pretend 
    G                       D  C 
I never want to see you again 

In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass 
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class 
In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass 
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class 

In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass 
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class
